Number 16. Make a daisy chain

The daisies will soon be flowering happily everywhere. Why not visit our paddock, look for flowers and try making yourself a daisy crown.

Number 22. Explore inside a tree
Explore one of our big old trees in the parkland (and watch out for lambs!)

Number 25. Make a grass trumpet
Pick a nice piece of grass from the paddock or parkland and give it a go!

Number 31. Hunt for bugs
Have a closer look on the plants and ground around the site and see what little creatures you can find. In spring many of them will just be waking up.
